Brooke Cottage in Great Walsingham, Norfolk, has been named the number one cosy UK cottage for a winter break by The Guardian Travel in 2022. This traditional Norfolk cottage features charming details such as an inglenook fireplace, pine latched doors, and a brass bed, offering a cosy and inviting atmosphere for up to four guests. The cottage's sitting/dining area includes original oak beams, a wood burning stove, and a farmhouse table for meals, while the family room provides additional seating and a sofa bed for relaxing evenings.
The well-equipped kitchen with painted stone walls and wooden worktops is ideal for preparing meals with local produce, and a WC and utility room are also located on the ground floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a brass king-size bed and an en suite shower room, while the second bedroom offers twin beds and views of the village green. Outside, guests can enjoy a shared courtyard area and a private enclosed lawn, although it is not fully secure for dogs. Parking is available outside the cottage on the green.
Located on a quiet country lane near the River Stiffkey, Brooke Cottage provides a peaceful retreat with the option to explore the surrounding area, including the coastal resort of Wells-next-the-Sea with its shops, cafes, restaurants, Quay, and beach. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage for a small additional charge, making it a perfect destination for a relaxing getaway in the East of England's Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Self-catering cottage holidays in the UK and Ireland can still be a green option. You can have the comforts of home and the flexibility to do what you want; when you want - without the hassles of air travel!
